List Of Persons with Disabilities Nominated To Senate
In a likely manner, both Azimio candidates Raila Odinga and Martha Karua will not be attending the swearing in ceremony of President Dr. William Samoei Ruto.
They have also decided that they’ll keep off media broadcasts from radio or TV. This has seen Raila Odinga fly out of the country while his running mate has gone to a deserted and silent golf club.
We wish the two speedy acceptance of thr state of affairs. Kenya needs them to oversight Ruto’s Presidency.
The following list contains all the Members of Parliament elected to serve in the National Assembly. The members are elected for a five year term to represent Kenyans from each of the 290 constituencies in Kenya.
The role of MPs is to represent the will of the people who elected them to Parliament. They make and amend the laws of Kenya.
Women Reps in Kenya are representatives elected from each county by registered voters to the national assembly to represent the will of the people, discuss government policies, make laws, vet public appointees, and most importantly oversight the government by ensuring that the constitution is duly followed.
The position was created as an affirmative action to ensure that more women are elected to the national assembly so represent the interests of women in parliament. 47 women are elected by voters while some are nominated.
On 9th August, 2022, Kenyans went to vote for their leaders in six ballots. While electing governors, Kenyans were voting for their deputy governors too. A deputy governor will take over the county leadership upon the death of the current governor. In that way, a by-election is avoided.
The official duties of a deputy governor in Kenya include:
serving as Principal Deputy to the Governor,
serving as Acting Governor in the absence of the Governor from the County or the disability of the Governor, or
becoming Governor in the event of the Governor’s death, resignation or removal from office via impeachment
